Here are a few essential products and packages by Saab that are some of the best in the market today.
AUV62-AT
It is not news that Submarines today play a crucial role in maritime defense. Owing to this, navies all over the world are also rapidly upgrading their submarine programs. This is why effective modern anti-submarine warfare measures are also needed. However, using such a gigantic naval asset that is of colossal importance to train for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) can get too expensive for the armed forces, where maintenance and fuel is concerned. But Saab has a solution for that. Saab provides top-notch Anti-submarine warfare training systems called the AUV62-AT. The AUV62-AT, no doubt provides a flexible and cost-effective way of training crews, without the need for an actual.
The AUV62-AT is just the perfect solution for ASW operator training and onboard sonar and command systems check-ups. The AUV62-AT features powerful built-in tools for training, planning, and evaluation which are all capabilities that enable it to replace submarines in ASW training. The AUV62-AT is highly flexible, adaptable and can even operate in several different modes. This enables it to comply with various sets of training regulations. The AUV62-AT can also generate realistic submarine noises and echoes to create a suitable and realistic environment for the training. It mirrors every other physical property of a submarine including a tail that has ASW torpedo firing. Not only that, but the tail also incorporates transmitting and receiving transducers, so that training personnel can perform onboard analysis of the location of active sonars or torpedoes. The AUV62-AT tail is also capable of deceiving any torpedo homing system.
The AUV62-AT can be launched and recovered from any platform ultimately allowing forces to train in any field and dramatically reducing turn around times. Because of this, the AUV62-AT is always mission-ready, saving time and resources, even in the harshest of environments.
Saab Under Water Systems
Saab Underwater Systems AB is one of the world leaders in the area of underwater systems. Previously known as Saab Bofors Underwater Systems AB, Saab Underwater Systems AB has been focused on creating underwater systems like sensor systems, precision engagement systems, remotely operated and autonomous underwater vehicles (like ROV:s and AUV:s) for shallow and difficult underwater environments.
Since littoral waters vary widely in nature owing to its depths, complex hydro-acoustic environment, and sometimes, even having dense civil traffic result, the challenge is to tackle these situations head-on, which Saab has been doing efficiently with its impressive array of underwater systems of sophisticated weapon systems, sensor systems, and sub-surface equipment to help the countries to enhance their defense capabilities. We will be focusing on Saab’s Remotely Operated Vehicles here today and their purpose as underwater systems.
Saab offers Remotely Operated Vehicles like Double Eagle Mark II/III, MuMNS, SUBROV, and Sea Wasp. Mine Countermeasures, also known as MCM, is a serious business that demands vigorous mine reconnaissance and mine disposal tasks. This is where Saab’s underwater system Double Eagle MkII/III comes in. Today, this underwater system is the first and best choice for many navies around the world. But what can be done after the mines are successfully detected underwater? Tackling and neutralizing them. The Multi-shot Mine Neutralisation System, also known as MuMNS, has been created just for that. This underwater system can be used for live operational mine clearance, peacetime operations against historical ordnance, mine investigation, and underwater demolitions.
It is said that the role of the submarine as an underwater system is changing and evolving. To complement and aid these updates and changes is the Saab SUBROV, which is also known as Submarine Remotely Operated Vehicle. The role of SUBROV as an underwater system is to gather intelligence and data and through its easy to integrate and operate new tools and sensors capability, SUBROV enables the operators to perform difficult tasks without the need to modify their submarines for a longer period. The Sea Wasp is a very useful underwater system and a Remotely Operated Vehicle that was designed specifically to locate, identify, and neutralize Improvised Explosive Device, which is also known as IED, which is a growing threat in the maritime domain.
